And I wonder what his thoughts are on all the college girls he's fucked?

repeated genocide denial is not "practical". actually it is very "theoretical" because he presents conspiracy "theories" created by war criminals as 'facts'
personally i'd rather he talk about movies because i'm never going to accept the lefty equivalent of ernst zundel as a good source of info on world events.
